I have several Yelete Leggings, most I purchased from an online boutique, the one pair I tried to order on here never actually showed up and they wouldn't do anything about it BUT I still wanted to review these leggings because if you're able to get them they're amazing.I'm 5'9" and 150-160. I've had 3 laproscopic abdominal area surgeries in the last 9 months and these leggings have allowed me to leave the house not looking like an escaped mental patient (scrubs) and feel confident that I'm not "poking out" somewhere. After surgery your belly is swollen and it takes several weeks for the swelling to completely resolve, you can sport scrubs (and look like one) or sweats, but after the first week I really needed to feel better about how I looked and having pants with no absolute waist - godsend. This brand has somehow found the ideal material blend to balance softness + compression, they're not super tight around your midsection and they don't have that shiny athletic look or feel to them, but the have enough compression to stay put all day and do a little shaping. I seriously haven't found a better pair of leggings anywhere else. And I've looked. I'm 37, so I know the difference between "yoga pants" and leggings. I don't like too much cotton because they lose shape and fade fast in the wash. Too much poly and they're tights.The only downside with these is the availability. They're not super easy to get in "medium" or small. Which is probably where anyone size 2-10 would fit. I'm usually a size 8 and the medium fits great. If I've dropped down to 148-150 the small is a better fit. I would order your usual size though for sure. And stock up if they have your size. Hand wash or delicates bag+delicate cycle, cold water, hang dry. Easy on the detergent.
